Officials from the English promotion recently added the matchup to
the company’s Sept. 8 card, revealing that former welterweight ace
Pascal
Krauss has been stripped of his belt due to his inability to
defend the title. The unbeaten Krauss is currently signed with the
Ultimate Fighting Championship and is slated to face John
Hathaway at UFC
138 on Nov. 5.

Known as “The Ice Viking,” Isaksson (Pictured) rides a three-fight
winning streak into his showdown with Grimaud. The SBG Ireland
representative owns over half of his career wins by submission and
has never been knocked out as a pro. Most recently, he stopped
Kevin
Reed with an arm-triangle choke at CWFC 40 in February.

Grimaud, 31, has won his last four contests. Though he has competed
less than three years as a pro, the Frenchman already has 18 pro
bouts to his credit, finishing nine of his conquered foes by
submission. The Haute Tension product has only been knocked out
once since beginning his career in 2008, and has never fallen by
submission.
